Government of PakistanPML-N doesn’t consider Panama Papers a threat: Marriyum Aurangzeb

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb on Saturday said Panama Papers had never been and would never be any threat to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government.

Earlier on Friday, the Supreme Court announced that since Chief Justice Anwar Zaheer Jamali was about to retire this month; therefore, the Apex Court would constitute a new bench to hear Panama Case from beginning next month.

Talking to the media representatives in Islamabad on Saturday, Marriyum Aurangzeb said the stance of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan kept changing every passing hour as it was totally based on falsehood, allegations and anarchy.

The minister said the politics of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif revolved around serving the masses with dedication and honesty. She said it was the vision of the prime minister that terror acts had significantly been reduced and power outages curtailed to two to three hours.

Marriyum Aurangzeb said credit also went to the prime minister for connecting the provinces and cities through road infrastructure and public transport projects.

Meanwhile while addressing the International Mountain Film Festival in Islamabad, Marriyum Aurangzeb says the prime minister was himself concentrating on the revival of film industry in Pakistan.

Marriyum said the federal government was making all out efforts for the betterment of industry and the artists. She said establishment of funds for film industry would be announced soon.

The state minister said with our vast array of cultural and civilizational asset, we could vivify the positive and real image of our country internationally. She said the youth needed to be engaged in all endeavors aimed at promotion and enrichment of our culture and civilization.

Marriyum Aurangzeb underscored the need for bringing the film industry in line with the international standards.

Over four days, the program offered students a unique opportunity to engage with diplomats, business leaders, and policymakers, deepening their understanding of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and its transformative role in Balochistan’s development. During their visit to the Chinese Embassy in Islamabad, the students were warmly received by Mr. Wang Shengjie, Political Counsellor, who delivered an inspiring speech highlighting the enduring Pakistan-China friendship. He underscored the importance of youth in strengthening bilateral ties, stating, “The youth are the custodians of the future. Programs like these are crucial in fostering people-to-people connections between our two nations.” The students were also introduced to the CPEC framework through a presentation and video by young diplomats, illustrating the initiative’s impact on regional connectivity and economic growth. On the second day, the delegation visited the China Media Group office in Islamabad, where they explored initiatives aimed at fostering media collaboration and promoting cultural understanding between Pakistan and China. This was followed by a visit to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, where the delegation was warmly welcomed by Ms. Mumtaz Zahra Baloch, Spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. During an in-depth briefing, Ms. Baloch shared valuable insights into Pakistan's foreign policy priorities, particularly its strategic engagements with key regions, including China, the USA, the Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa. She emphasized that Pakistan’s relationship with China remains the cornerstone of its foreign policy, rooted in mutual trust and shared interests. The delegation also had the honor of meeting Deputy Prime Minister and Federal Minister for Foreign Affairs Ishaq Dar. Additionally, they participated in a dialogue with the China Chamber of Commerce in Pakistan (CCCPK), where representatives of Chinese enterprises discussed ongoing projects and investment strategies. Mustafa Hyder Sayed, Executive Director of the Pakistan-China Institute, remarked, “This program exemplifies how diplomacy and development converge. By engaging with stakeholders, the youth of Balochistan can better understand the opportunities that CPEC and bilateral cooperation offer.” The students also visited the Institute of Strategic Studies Islamabad (ISSI) to explore the dynamics of policy and strategy. On the third day, a major highlight was a lecture delivered by Ambassador Naghmana Hashmi, Former Pakistani Ambassador to China. She addressed the challenges posed by misinformation and emphasized the role of Chinese investments in Balochistan’s socio-economic upliftment.

It is imperative to showcase the tangible benefits that Chinese collaboration has brought to the region.” Another significant session was led by Zou Yaodong, Chief Staff of the Administration Department of the China Overseas Port Holding Company (COPHC). He provided a detailed overview of Gwadar’s development under COPHC’s leadership, highlighting its strategic significance in the CPEC framework. “Gwadar is a symbol of hope and prosperity for Balochistan and Pakistan. COPHC is committed to making it a hub of regional connectivity and economic transformation,”he said. The cultural aspect of the program included visits to iconic sites in Islamabad, such as the Pakistan Monument, Lok Virsa Museum, and Margalla Hills. These excursions deepened the students’ connection to Pakistan’s rich cultural heritage, complementing the program’s educational focus. The 4th Batch of the Balochistan Youth Engagement Program continues to exemplify the Pakistan-China Institute’s dedication to nurturing future leaders and fostering regional connectivity. By equipping youth with knowledge, exposure, and critical insights, the program strengthens the foundation for a prosperous Balochistan and reinforces the enduring Pakistan-China partnership.
